#IWReads With Riley Gaines – Swimming Against The Current 

Riley dives into her experience going from a decorated collegiate athlete and all-American champion swimmer to a fearless, women’s right advocate and leading voice for women nationwide. 

Riley kept waiting for someone to speak up for her and the other female athletes after being forced to compete against a male and undress before him in the women’s locker room at the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships. After realizing no one was going to, she gave truth a voice. Riley details her journey standing up for women’s right to privacy, safety, and equal opportunity. As a fearless, driving force for change, Riley reveals what is at stake when we don’t speak up and fight against radical agendas.

This book takes on controversial but critical questions we must confront about women (and sports) in America. Riley deconstructs the arguments on the opposing side of this debate with facts, and logic. She also addresses how it seems nearly impossible to have a well-reasoned debate and questions what happened to free speech in this country. In telling her story, Riley reveals what’s at stake if the truth-seekers remain silent about the injustices women face from radical political agendas.
